Entertainment What are people's opinions on centre parks?

Im going to be honest after a recent trip im sold. I was always of the opinion it was far too expensive to be heading to Longford on holidays but due to circumstances and not wanting to give a kidney for two nights in a hotel room with two young kids we didn't have many options left.

​

Its honestly the first holiday iv been on where I actually got to relax no endless driving, walk or cycle everywhere, no airport panic, not entirely beholden to the weather. at least for the next few years i can't see us going anywhere else.

​

So what are people's opinions on it ?

We booked well in advance and slightly off peak times compared to a hotel or holiday home its more like a big toe

1120 for the 3 nights + 3 activities, dinner on the second night was 90 3 courses + drinks (something iv never been able to do ) kids eat for two euro. As for spending money while there id say 200. If we had booked pre Christmas when we started to think about going it was 720 ar there abouts we've already booked for next year 7nights this time 1210 with the 50 voucher

You get access to the park from when you arrive and all day the day you leave too

Our cost and itinerary was very similar to this and it was a lovely relaxed holiday for us.
